Letter #15, 2022, Tuesday, January 25: Top Ten 2021 #7[2022-01-25][Engleză]I have long believed that medicine is one of the noble professions. When a child falls ill or an accident threatens to cause lifelong trauma, a doctor can truly offer marvelous healing. My own brother is a doctor in an emergency room and is heroic in what he does during all-night shifts caring for those that come from car accidents or even gunshot wounds. He has cradled the heads of many who have died in his arms.That said the modern Western style of medicine has become so technology intensive and costly that there are conflicts that emerge in the life of every doctor who participates in our system. And in the past two years, the confusing and sometimes contradictory information that has troubled all of us with regard to the various viruses that seem to be threatening us have led all of us to pray for good doctors and courageous doctors to tell us the truth. The problem is that so much money is involved and so much potential for control of large populations depending on what choices governments make that many doctors and researchers have felt tremendous pressure not to contradict any mainstream narrative even when they felt sure that they had insights and information that could be helpful to all of us. We desperately need to be confident that our political and medical leaders are honest and honorable, but these two years have suggested that with billions of dollars at stake and enormous social engineering projects in the balance, some of the truths that we long to hear are being ostracized, de-platformed, and expelled from public discourse. This is a tragedy. In the midst of all this, the voice of Pamela Acker has been of exceptional importance and for this reason we chose her to be one of our Top Ten People of the year 2021. RM The world can be a dark place, yet these are people who refuse to let the darkness prevail Its been two years since Covid first came to international attention, and countless aspects of life have never been the same since. Yet, one thing that has remained constant is the determination of individuals to follow the Spirits call to transcend their own comfort, their own desires, their own interests, and brave sometimes severe difficulties in service to their brothers and sisters in the human family. It is the call echoed by Pope Francis: The gift of the Holy Spirit has been bestowed in abundance so that we may live lives of genuine faith and active charity. Go out, he says, become the Word in body as well as in spirit. And so we highlight here 10 people admittedly, just a tiny few among the many, many faithful and selfless souls around the world to underscore not only the need and the challenge of following the Gospel command to love your neighbor, but also to hold them up as a beacon of encouragement. We are all called to live lives of service and we all find it daunting at times; but the Lord sustains us and gives us hope. These are men and women who bring us some of that hope. The world can be a dark place, yet these are people who refuse to let the darkness prevail. They are Inside the Vaticans Top Ten of 2021. Support the Moynihan Letters Pamela Acker Saying no to vaccines dependent on abortion A Catholic researcher seeks to dispel the confusion Miss Pamela Acker is a medical researcher with a masters degree in biology, a former vaccine researcher, a science teacher, and a devout Catholic who looks at health from the perspective of man as a created being. Modern Westerners are used to accepting the prevalent atheistic-evolutionary model of nature without realizing some of its consequences. But consequences there are including a worldview, shared by contemporary academics and popular culture, that as the product of random, impersonal forces, nature is infinitely malleable. Natural characteristics and processes are no longer the reference points for what is good for man physically and psychologically and what we can do to the human body is only limited by our ingenuity. This view is completely foreign to a worldview that recognizes nature as created immediately and intentionally by an all-knowing God, and the human body as an integral part of the person not merely a transport for the brain. Miss Acker applies this reasoning to the subject of vaccines, including Covid vaccines, in her book, Vaccination: A Catholic Perspective published in 2020 and currently being updated for a re-release in early 2021 by the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation. Miss Pamela Ackers book Vaccination: A Catholic Perspective, published in 2020 and currently being updated for a re-release in early 2022 We underestimate the fact that the human body is designed to keep itself healthy and repel pathogens, she says. That isnt to say that medicine has nothing to offer us, but we need to understand its limits, and that includes re-thinking vaccines. Taking a vaccine is just not the same as having a healthy immune system. In fact, she says, the current vaccines will never produce the coveted herd immunity that is supposedly the golden ticket to eradication of the Covid virus. The Covid vaccines on the market started out with a claimed efficacy of over 90%, which was already debatable; after 6 months, their reported efficacy has plummeted to 50% for Pfizer, 64% for Moderna, and a whopping 3% for J&J. She is even more incredulous over the newest recommendation for children age 5 and over to receive the Covid vaccine: With a small sample size (2200 children), no tracking of who had natural immunity and who didnt, and a follow-up period of only one month, theres just not enough data to make any research-based claims about safety or efficacy in children. But Miss Acker in particular raises the alarm about the morally-problematic origins of many vaccines: the HEK-293 cell line that was originally derived from a female baby aborted in the 1970s. HEK stands for human embryonic kidney and 293 indicates it was the 293rd experiment by researcher Frank Graham. While its possible that not all his experiments were done on fetal tissue, there is evidence in the scientific literature that he produced other fetal cell lines that arent used commercially. One of the points that the researchers try to obfuscate is just how many abortions were involved in vaccine development. It wasnt just the babies that were used to produce the successful cell lines there were many other babies whose tissue was harvested the same way. But the moral problem doesnt end there. Theres also the problem of trafficking human tissue, Acker says. This is an ongoing moral issue. Its not confined to the past. Most importantly, kidney cells die quickly, so they must be harvested from a living organism. Its clear that the unborn baby was alive when the kidney was cut out of her body, she says. We need to understand how evil the origin of these cell lines really is. Miss Acker often speaks of the appropriation of evil, and cautions that when one knowingly benefits from someone elses evil action, even after the fact, that affects your character internally in a more profound way than people realize. She herself sacrificed a Ph.D. opportunity at Catholic University of America for refusing to participate in aborted fetal tissue research, instead choosing to graduate with a masters degree and return to her previous career. No one can require us to compromise with evil. Its important that people know they have a right to refuse to participate. And that refusal is so important if we want to really end aborted fetal tissue research. Sursa: www.InsideTheVatican.com Contor Accesări: 546, Ultimul acces: 2024-04-18 02:13:55
